Career Services Overview:

The Berkeley Master of Engineering Program offers students a wide range of specialized career management resources. Services include resume/cover letter consultations, job search planning & strategy, interview assistance, online resources, targeted workshops, tech treks, and individual career counseling.

In addition to the Master of Engineering Career Services, the Cal Career Center (career.berkeley.edu) has an extensive on-campus recruiting program and numerous programs and workshops for engineering students. You will need to start thinking about your career preparations early since many companies start recruiting at Cal in early September. 

Many students do not have well-developed job seeking skills so it is important to take advantage of the extensive opportunities on campus to enhance your skil ls and to make contact with employers. Both the Master of Engineering Career Services and the Cal Career Center have special programs such as on how to approach the job market, resume preparation, how to interview, along with providing opportunities to meet employers. With all of the career resources available on campus, the primary responsibil ity for managing your career preparation and job search remains with you. However, with a litt le self-determination, we are confident that after you complete the Master of Engineering program you will successfully go on to have an exciting and prosperous career!

We look forward to working with you,

Julie McShane, Associate Director, Career ServicesJocelyn Faye, Career Services Specialist
